'Gray sees volition, and hence morality, as an illusion, and portrays humanity as a ravenous species engaged in wiping out other forms of life. Gray has written that "humans ... cannot destroy the Earth, but they can easily wreck the environment that sustains them."'https://twitter.com/misen__/status/994129373908406272 …
Fair enough. If you have the energy and inclination, I’d be happy to hear what leads you to that conclusion.

It's a question of agency. If we follow Gray and there is no volition, then there is no agency. If there's no agency, there's no responsibility and no taking of responsibility. If there's no taking of responsibility there's no communism. Another thing is Gray's right politics.

There being no agency and therefore being no taking of responsibility is logically incoherent. People can being 100% convinced of taking responsibility without having the free agency to do so. Then there is the question of taking-responsibility leading to +ve outcomes. Does it?
